We had our first doctor's visit today. I was really looking forward to it, hoping that Dr. Mary would be able to give us some answers and suggestions in regards to N's tummy troubles.
Here's N on the way! He was staring out the window.
Chilling out in the waiting room. He looks so tiny in this picture.
Daddy was filling out the important paperwork with a beautiful flower pen.
Getting his weight, length, and temp taken. He's 8 lbs. 12 oz. He's gained almost 6 oz since Friday (he was 8 lbs. 6.7 oz when we left the NICU). He's 21 1/2 inches long and his temperature was good. :)
Waiting in our room for Dr. Mary.
We're switching his formula and Dr. Mary taught us some ways (gross ways, but at this point, we'll do pretty much anything) to relieve his stomach pains. She also gave us permission to give him some baby tylenol when he needs it. We're hoping that these things will help him and us.
What's sad is that these stomach issues are a result of the meds his birthmother was taking as well as the meds he was getting in the hospital. Sad that he has to pay for all of this and I feel horrible seeing him in pain. Breaks my heart (and kills my ears.) Dr. Mary told us that it could take some time to get his digestive system back on track. Praying that it doesn't take forever. :)
